Image
Following the deal with NVIDIA for GeForce NOW, Microsoft has signed a similar ten-year deal with Boosteroid, an independent provides of PC games via the cloud, bringing all of its games to the service - including Activision Blizzard's, should the $68.7 billion deal pass the regulators' approval. Obviously, this is part of Microsoft's efforts to appease the likes of UK CMA and US FTC, who remain most critical of the acquisition while the European Union is reportedly about to wave it through. Phil Spencer, CEO of Gaming at Microsoft, stated: We believe in the power of games to bring people together. That's why Xbox is committed to give everyone more ways to play their favorite games across devices. Bringing Xbox PC games to Boosteroid members, including Activision Blizzard titles such as 'Call of Duty' once the deal closes, is yet another step in realizing that vision. Brad Smith, Vice Chair and President at Microsoft, added: This partnership builds on the $430 m...

No more waiting: You can now try the new Bing without the waitlist

Image
Microsoft seems to have removed the waitlist to try the new chat-based Bing experience, so anyone can now join and try it right away. Microsoft is apparently offering free USB drives to select Windows Insiders, following the changes to the Insider Program that include the introduction of the new Canary channel. As part of these changes, Microsoft moved all Insiders in the Dev channel to the new Canary channel, which essentially works the same way as the Dev channel used to, but is now more focused on long-term development. Meanwhile, if you wanted to stay on the Dev channel, which is focused on features coming relatively soon, you would need to perform a clean installation of Windows 11 to sign up again. Hey #WindowsInsiders - Time for a reboot! Today we are announcing some changes to our #Windows11 Insider preview offerings. :) Check out the blog post for all the details - https://t.co/jObnTlQKUN ^AL pic.twitter.com/MPe1Fr4LNK — Windows Insider Program (@windowsinsider) March ...

Google Assistant Can Now Speak Multiple Languages Interchangeably

Image
Google Assistant Can Now Understand Two Languages at the Same Time Earlier this year, Google announced that it was working on multilingual support for Google Assistant, so those who speak more than one language wouldn’t necessarily have to require just one to direct the digital personal assistant. This week, that vision comes to life. At IFA 2018, Google has officially confirmed that bilingual support is rolling out to Google Assistant. That means that you can speak in two (supported) different languages and still get Assistant to react and respond in kind. As usual, Assistant will detect which language you’re speaking and reply in the same way, all in an effort to keep the conversation as smooth as possible. “Family members in bilingual homes often switch back and forth between languages, and now the Assistant can keep up. With our advancement in speech recognition, you can now speak two languages interchangeably with the Assistant on smart speakers and phones and the Assistant will r...

Image
 Find My can be a powerful app in the right hands. Whether you have a recent iPhone, iPad, or AirTag, you can use Apple's Find My network to locate a device. Find My works by connecting all iDevices that have opted in for the service, allowing even offline products to exchange data with Apple's server through piggybacking on a nearby online device. Through this service, you get to locate, erase, ping, and do more with a device, including AirTags and other third-party trackers. While it sounds simple, there's a lot you can use the Find My app for.
